Bob Dylan - I Pity the Poor Immigrant


   G                  C                   D7                                     G
I pity the poor immigrant who wishes he would have stayed home
               G                         C                    D7                          G
Who uses all his power to do evil but in the end is always left so alone
        Em                       Bm                        C                     G
That man whom with his fingers cheats, who lies with every breath
        G                C                        D7                      G
Who passionately hates his life and likewise fears his death


   G                  C                   D7                      G
I pity the poor immigrant who tramples thru the mud
               G                   C                    D7                          G
Who fills his mouth with laughing & who builds his town with blood
        Em                 Bm                 C                          G
Who eats but is not satisfied, who hears but does not see
        G                C                              D7                     G
Who falls in love with wealth itself and turns his back on me


   G                  C                      D7                         G
I pity the poor immigrant whose strength is spent in vain
           G                  C                      D7                G
Whose heaven is like ironsides, whose tears are like rain
          Em                        Bm          C                      G
Whose visions in the final end, must shatter like the glass
          G            C                         D7                      G
I pity the poor immigrant when his gladness comes to pass
